Just put together this video completely out of boredom in 30 minutes, so it's not top quality precisely, I can (and will) do much better! ^^.

Just posting it here to see if theres anybody else into CJ, or if there's anyone willing to learn. I'm a great fan of knowledge sharing so I'm more than willing to teach the basics in exchange for some piano lessons! =P

See you!

Really cool. I tried learning 'regular' juggling with the "Klutz" book...but I can never seem to get that 3rd beanbag to toss properly.....

That's fantastic. Mesmerizing.

I notice the level of finger dexterity required, and I can't help but ask: does contact juggling help you more with piano or does piano help you more with contact juggling? Just idle curiosity.

Well, I can not really tell yet because I'm a beginner at piano, but everyone who is following my progress says I'm learning incredibly fast. I'm usually asked if I did any instrument before, and my answer is that juggling may be what is helping me.

It does help a lot with hand strenght and flexibility. I can play piano for hours without feeling any strain, and I guess that comes from juggling too (this summer I had to juggle for easily 10 hours nonstop at the Euro juggling Convention), and each one of these balls (big ones) weight like 600-700 grams.

So yeah, I think CJ is helping me a lot with piano. I haven't analyzed my juggling too much these days (mostly because I spend all my free time playing) but I guess it goes both ways =)

That kind of juggling always makes me think of David Bowie in Labyrinth.
